Peroxisomes fulfill important protective functions in the cell and are vital for health; they contribute to cellular lipid metabolism and redox balance, which links them to the control of energy ...

Researchers decode the structure of the molecular complex that carries detoxifying enzymes in cells to the right place. Peroxisomes are essential, membrane-enclosed vesicles that occur in every cell.

For the first time, the researchers have identified and molecularly characterized the RADAR pathway (“Receptor Accumulation and Degradation in the Absence of Recycling”) in baker’s yeast. This ...
